In freestyle wrestling, India's Asian Games medal hopefuls Bajrang Punia and Sandeep Tomar put up an impressive show at the Yasar Dogu International in Istanbul, Turkey by reaching the gold medal rounds while Vicky settled for a bronze. 
   
Bajrang beat Turkish wrestler Mustafa Kaya by technical superiority (15-4) in the 70kg quarterfinals. Continuing his good form, he then edged out Iran's Yones Emamichoghaei 10-10 in the semifinal.
 
Sandeep overcame three opponents en route the final-Belarus' Andreyeu Uladzislau (7-4), Azerbaijan's Parviz Ibrahimov (3-1) and Hazanzada Mircalal (6-4). A stern test awaited Sandeep in the final of the 61kg as he was up against Iran's Mohammadbagher Yakhkeshi.
 
In the 57kg, Vicky won a bronze medal with a 9-7 win over Ukraine's Armen Arakelian. However, four other Indians had a disappointing outing as they failed to reach the medal round.
